Four local corrections officers have been chosen as their facilities' 2013 Corrections Officers of the Year. One of them received a special honor: being named the state's 2013 Corrections Officer of the Year.

McComb and Brown were two of the top five finalists in the state, selected by the Michigan Corrections Training Council, to represent the Michigan Department of Corrections. McComb, a 27-year veteran of the department, was named the council's choice for 2013 Officer of the Year.

Trierweiler, McConkey, McComb and Brown, along with other officer nominees from across Michigan, will be honored at the yearly Correctional Officers Appreciation Banquet Wednesday at the Kellogg Hotel & Conference Center on the Michigan State University campus in East Lansing.

The first full week in May each year is marked as Michigan Correctional Officers Week to honor the work of correctional officers and personnel in the state. This year that week is May 5 to 11.
